If they (the illegal criminal intruders as I call them) live in fear, go into hiding, don't go to work, or keep their children out of school then they have no one else to blame but THEMSELVES. They broke the laws of this country and deserve what ever punishment is due to them. If they resist or obstruct then let then suffer the consequences that come with preventing a member of any law enforcement group from DOING THEIR JOB. The one distinctive fact that people fail to remember is this ......the very instant they set foot on American soil without following proper procedures with correct documentation, they are considered to be A CRIMINAL, just like YOU or I would be if we performed the same act in a foreign land. Let them be welcomed in the proper way ......come to America the correct way .....the way millions have done before you. Seek your dreams and enjoy the freedoms of America but do it as a responsible human, not a CRIMINAL. In the past 35 years, foreign born populations have grown tenfold in this state. Contained in this number are 630,000 non-citizens with 435,000 of them being undocumented. These are numbers from the NC Office of State Budget and Management and WE HAVE A PROBLEM OF ENFORCEMENT in this state and I consider it to be a failure by the Immigration Services of this state, whoever it may be. It needs to be IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED AND THAT IS WHY WE SEE THE FEDERAL AGENCIES ON OUR SOIL TODAY. I THANK THEM FOR STEPPING INTO OUR MESS AND THE JOBS THEY ARE DOING.
Wow LCSO considers this worthy of a press release. The guy on the fourwheeler probably woke a deputy up from his nap in a church parking lot.
I prefer the "schumer shutdown" because that is exactly what it is. The dems could pass a CR as they've always done and try to negotiate instead of acting like the spoiled third grade nimrods they are. obamacare (I refuse to capitalize something useless like that name) has been a fraud scheme since day one. Our group policy at my wife's workplace eventually TRIPLED in cost due to that stupid program. The ridiculous thing was for years, the working public, who paid taxes and premiums and took care of their own needs was footing the bill for other's healthcare already through higher premiums and lesser/smaller benefits. Why penalize US with another government giveaway program just so the entitlement crowd could continue to sit on their butts and drain more from us? I fight all this because I despise laziness, law breaking, disrespect, ineptness and stupidity and that's what the left wing is very proficient at ......that and being paid to publicly disrupt and obstruct enforcement of the laws the rest of us observe. I EARNED WHAT I'VE GOT ......EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD TOO!!!!
Thanks Barney for reading my article. We don't agree on much probably (although I am a moderate politically), but when we can at least discuss our differences civilly, maybe we are making progress. Let's keep talking as fellow Americans. We certainly can find some common ground. Be well. Eric
Thank you. Of course we don't agree ......I'm a retired diehard Conservative and have never once voted for a left wing dem candidate, even long ago when a few of them made a little sense. I can tolerate the other columnist in this paper (the one you are rebutting) a lot easier. Most journalistic types lean liberal due to the approach to their craft that whatever they publish will get "hits" either way .......their publishers prefer and sometimes demand that. Some like it, some hate it. I mainly just like to express my opinion to hopefully upset the destroying and obstructing liberal bunch who are usually just mad about anything for no reason of value and I laugh at the babble in responses. I still vote even though I've long given up on the process of "representation" ......just look at what gets elected ...biggest bunch of clowns, crooks, & mentally deprived idiots in our history. Statesmen don't exist any longer. Other than a handful I trust ....a complete waste of taxpayer money and an embarrassment to the original experiment of 250 years ago.
Actually Eric, after reading a few more lines of your "heavily biased" article, I see beyond a shadow of doubt that you are nothing more than a paid (I guess) shill for the left and hugely infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome like the majority of the "fake news media" is. I have never understood why people who do your job must stoop to manufacturing falsehoods and lies just to be able to think they have significance. Having one's opinion is one thing but lying about current events just to make left wingers feel warm and fuzzy is another. Your next step and as many have stated is to call me a "Trump disciple". Far from the truth. My opinion of the man fluctuates wildly. Most days he should keep his mouth shut and enjoy the successes his policies create for me and other Americans. He should also remember he has a "team" and refrain from using "I" so much. However, his desire for law and order and getting rid of illegal south of the border criminals sits very well with me. They are the "root cause" of all our problems from any aspect. Yes his name means a lot in the world of negotiation and globally people take notice, unlike the weak and disrespectful tools of the left from previous administrations, but he does have that "team".
Bravo!
This state has a lot of nerve arresting people for running a casino. NC runs the biggest casino called the state lottery. I sure wish i could be on the jury for that case when it goes to court. Jury nullification!
